CHRIS FERRARA
featuring two performances by Chris
Google Art Video
Chris's latest performance "Google Art Video" asks the question: Is art simply a conversation with oneself?"And the question: "Does it make you think?"And the question: "Is that really a word?"
And answers them all with an emphatic "No!"

STARBUX DIARY
Starbux Diary is an ongoing personal journal I have been writing to Starbucks Coffee Company for the past five years. Once a day, I jot down my musings about life, love and art to Starbucks on one of their customer comment cards just as I would make a diary entry. Starbux Diary: Green Tea Frappuccino Dreams is a reading of selected letters I have sent to Starbucks interspersed with their letters to me as if we are having a conversation.

SHOCKINGLY BRILLIANT
Pal: So, how does this become your artist bio?
Combo: It’s about us of course, which is everyone who wants!
Pal: So want is the defining feature, this specific want.
Combo: This one, yup. That this is art, making it art because we REALLY want it to be.
Pal: Or even want it just a little bit?
Combo: Yes, but this is not even art, it is T’s art bio.
Pal: This is part of T’s artist statement.
Combo: No, it is–
Pal: OK, can we say it is both?
Combo: Can we say it is her bio, part of her statement, which really is also real art–
Pal: Yes, and also it is a collaboration, not just her bio, or her art, just not defined by exactly who when it is happening… um, occurring.
Combo: Which is now?
Pal: Maybe.
